DBWalker Error 1207: Voice name WAV file missing

I am working on upgrading Unity 4.0.3 to Unity Connection 8.x and as part of the migration path I have to go to Unity 4.0.5 first since the COBRAS tool can only supports Unity 4.0.5 or later. As I am getting ready to install Unity 4.0.5 I ran dbWalker today on my Unity 4.0.3 box and I am getting some errors, please see below !! and I am using the latest dbWalker tool.

The 1207 errors can be cleaned up by the DBWalker tool if I remember correctly - it is a flag to remove orphaned name files.

The 1226 is not a good indication of the cleanest state of the DB. I would be curious to know how many of these you are getting - one, a few, a lot? You can use CUDLE to lookup the DH by using the object ID as a reference in a SQL query you build in CUDLE. From there, go to the Directory Handler in SA and walk thru the menu actions. If there is a reference to a missing object, then it should be displayed in SA. You can remove the object there and re-run DBWalker to ensure that no other errors are popping up.

On the flip side, you'll be doing yourself a great service to migrate to a new platform and start fresh. Run as many of the clean up tasks with DBWalker (not just reports) as you feel comfortable with. If you have questions, just ask. I have a couple Unity installs in my lab so I can take a look at DBWalker for reference on things, if needed.
